rose hill

One,two, three,four. I declare a rose hill war. Well, not really. I am going to let my friends choose among themselves. The top three are made with Classic Elites Portland tweed, left over from the Christmas sweaters. The bottom one is made out of Classic Elite's Skye tweed, left over from last years sweaters. If you recall, I mentioned that Portland tweed replaced Skye tweed.I have seven balls left from last years sweaters. I know I will not get around to using them. (I'm sticking true to Portland tweed. It is so nice.) If you would like a ball, or two, leave me a comment, and then shoot on over and e-mail me with your address. (My address is in the sidebar. This isn't a drawing. Just a giveaway to the first people who want them.) I will pop it in the mail, and you can make yourself or someone a hat. Well, you don't have to use it to make a hat.........but they are pretty darn cute.

I haven't even checked my google reader in over a week, haven't been on flickr, etc... but I was just thinking how I don't have any tweedy yarns and that's really a shame, and maybe my malabrigo fixation needs a break, etc etc etc. and then i wandered over here and there you are, giving pretty things away! Amazing! Your hats are so cute, too. I can understand why you made four of them.

I would love to try a rose hill hat, if you have a ball or two left. What a fantastic Christmas present. I just wrapped up my knitted Christmas gifts last night, and I would love to knit something for me!!

I love this post (actually I love all your posts which is why you're on my regular read list :-) ...and I don't want any yarn...I have a skein of malabrigo worsted waiting to be knitted into a hat for my daughter for christmas - was going to make foliage (from knitty) but this might be a better option because it looks fast...and cute!

Great post! Love all the hats and the photo set up. Please don't send me any yarn, though - I don't need any distractions from my ruffle coat thingy that is also your fault. It is next in my cue after xmas, and I can't wait!

i think it is super nice of you to send yarn to loving homes, that just makes me smile after a long hard week of work! very nice, it is good to see this time of year - your hats are darling, as are you!

poop! I'm way too late for the yarn, but how generous of you to give it away. I really need to try and order some of that tweed, I'm dying to knit with it (patiently waiting for your Libby pattern) ;-)

you know, I already commented on this post, but I forgot to mention that I love your idea for letting your friends pick their color of hat. i was thinking of doing same thing...let my friends pick which color of hand warmers they wanted. it's just too hard to choose colors for someone else.

Oh I love the green...your friends will love you! Now if I can just find a friend that will knit for ME! Lol...it's always the way, we the knitters knitting for others & wishing that just ONCE someone would knit alittle something for them. Happy Holidays! As always your blog is beautiful~

I would love to try a ball of this yarn - but I am sure they are all gone...story of my life...a day late and dollar short. But, thanks for the generous offer. If by chance I got in on time...I can supply you with my address. Happiest of Holidays to you!

Hey, m i too late for it ? I would love to have a ball or two or can help me get more (i trust your choice of yarn and colours). We can work out the payment, by Paypal ? Wanting to knit your Libby's sweater using this yarn (cant get the yarn here)

The yarn(silk n wool blend) which i used to knit hats, scarfs and gloves for the winter holiday in Korea is not warm enough. I m getting ready to knit for our next winter trip.

Hi! I'm probably too late, but I would love to make a hat with one of these. I have just gotten back into knitting the last year, but the closest yarn store is 2.5 hours away! Your hats are adorable.connally@camelliacom.comp.s. yes, that's 2 coms

hi suzanne.......i have no other way to respond to you but here. i sure hope you see this.that bracelet was a gift to me from a friend.......and she purchased it on the street......in some other country........for um 10 dollars! i know. and if she would have bought a dozen, she could have made a pretty penny.happy birthday!

These hats are so cute. I love seeing the same pattern over and over again in different colors. Through the Loops does it all the time and I wish I had the patience. But I tend to not want to make anything a second time unless someone wants a copy for a gift. Otherwise I'm too lazy!
